On behalf of His Majesty, Governor Veera Sriwatanatrakul and other representatives from local administrative organisa-tions provided 100 bags of aid to appreciative residents in tambon Aou Noi after the storm damaged 66 houses and 2,000 rai of farmland. About 100 vil-lagers had been affected.

The governor also gave affected residents money.

The area was declared a dis-aster zone after the storm hit early yesterday.
